60% of British adults are overweight or obese.
The Government addressed this today.
80% of people with eating disorders are overweight or obese.
The Government dismissed this today.
The Department of Health?s Call to Action takes the stance that it is our personal duty to halt the rise in obesity in the hope of a downward trend by 2020. It is up to us to control how much we eat and drink and we must rise to the challenge to make changes.
Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer emphasised her belief in the simple method of portion control. She said: ?The weight comes from the plate? Increasing physical activity is part of the equation but reducing the amount of calories is key.?
The main aim of the plan is to cut our calorie intake by 5billion per day. Makes a good headline at least.
